Do you have a friend who’s so in love with matcha, they can’t and won’t stop talking about it? Maybe they plan every hangout around the best matcha spot in town. Maybe they’ve got a secret Japanese matcha supplier they’re absolutely gatekeeping. Or maybe they love it so much everything they own is fifty shades of green. As a matcha addict, I’ve been all of the above. And who can blame us? From the endless health benefits to the sweet, calming aroma, it’s no surprise that this green powder has taken over cafés, kitchens, and social feeds everywhere. If you—or someone you love—can’t get enough matcha, you’re in the right place. This list has the best matcha gifts for every kind of matcha lover.
For the everyday matcha drinker
These gift ideas are for the person who traded their morning espresso for a matcha latte and hasn’t looked back. They like to start their mornings slow, know all the best (and worst) matcha places in town, and greet baristas with calm, grounded energy.
A nice mug that matches their pace
Ember smart temperature control mug 2 (414ml)
Matcha is meant to be savoured, slow and steady. That’s why a mug that keeps it at the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last is just what you need. This one does just that, with precise temperature control, you can enjoy your matcha exactly the way you like it. The built-in battery keeps your drink warm for up to 80 minutes—or all day when paired with the charging coaster.
Salton mug warmer
If a smart mug is just out of budget, a cup warmer can be an affordable alternative. Pair it up with a cute ceramic mug for a complete set. This Salton warmer keeps matcha hot for hours. And just as a bonus, it can also warm candles to release their scent, so you can enjoy your warm cup of beverage in a room that smells nice.
Thermos Stainless King travel mug (470ml)
But, look, I get it; life gets busy. The reality is sometimes there’s just no time to sit and savour your matcha. A sturdy travel mug makes it easy to take your drink on the go, whether you’re dodging traffic or catching the train. It slides into most cup holders, and its stainless steel, sweat-proof design keeps condensation off your desk, so you don’t have to sweat about it ruining your laptop or paperwork.
A bottle with lid
A travel mug lets you sip on the go, but I bet you didn’t know you can make matcha on the go too. Just add matcha powder and water, give it a good shake, and voilà! Perfect for mornings when you’re racing to work and don’t have time to swing by a café for a $10 matcha. It may not replace a proper whisk, but it’s a quick way to get your fix when you’re out and about.
Thermos tumbler (710ml)
This one features Thermos insulation that keep your drink at just the right temperature.
Zojirushi bottle – Hana + Kana collection (473ml)
Too petty not to include on my list! Beautiful and practical, this Zojirushi bottle features a tight-fitting, flip-open lid with a secure safety lock, making it easy to toss into a bag without worrying about mossy green leaks. Part of the Hana + Kana collection, its design was created in collaboration with Japanese art director Nishioka Pencil.
More tools to spice things up
Rechargeable handheld milk frother
Texture makes all the difference in a cup of matcha latte, and a powerful electric frother can make life much easier than manual whisking. It blends matcha and milk smoothly and evenly in seconds, giving you a frothy, creamy cup every time.
Vitamix E320 stand blender – Only at Best Buy
“What’s a blender doing here?” you might wonder. Well, matcha isn’t just for tea or lattes—you can take it to the next level with smoothies, shakes, or even matcha protein drinks! A powerful stand blender makes it easy to experiment, get creative, and whip up fun, healthy green drinks.
For the matcha purist
These gifts are for the person who would probably judge the ones who shake their matcha in a tumbler. They prefer to whisk by hand, care about where their matcha comes from, and take pride in honouring the ritual the traditional way. They also know ceremonial-grade from culinary-grade and won’t hesitate to school you on the difference.
Matcha tea set/matcha starter kit
Sure, the matcha purist probably already have a favourite supplier in Japan, but thoughtful tools and well-curated kits that elevate their daily ritual will always be appreciated.
Five-piece matcha tea kit
This matcha set has everything you need to bring the full ceremonial experience home. It comes with a handcrafted bamboo whisk for smooth, frothy tea, a natural bamboo spoon, a sturdy stainless steel sieve, and a beautiful ceramic holder to keep it all looking cute on your counter.
An electric kettle with temperature control
Making the perfect matcha isn’t just about the powder—it’s about the water. Too hot, and it tastes bitter; too cool, and the tea won’t bloom. It needs to be just right.
Lotus The Purist electric kettle
The Purist for the purist (sorry, I had to). Its manual temperature setting lets you pick the exact temperature from 95 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, (35 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius), so every cup of matcha comes out perfectly balanced.
Ninja precision temperature electric kettle
We all love a budget-friendly option, and this one gets the job done. It gives you manual control so you can hit the perfect temperature for your matcha every time.
For the matcha aesthetic lovers
This person adores the matcha-green shade just as much as the drink itself. They probably fell for matcha partly because of that colour. Their wardrobe, phone case, or even gaming setup likely reflects it. Matcha-themed everyday items are right up their alley. Luckily, Best Buy has lots.
